Live Animal Two-door Cage Trap Instructions
Models 1020, 1025, 1030, & 1040
Check the Trap--Occasionally the cage will shift
due to shipping. Please examine the cage
carefully.
• Cage should not be damaged or bent.
• Bait pan should move freely
• Door locks should move easily from locked
position over-top horizontal wire (illustration
1).
• Camouflage should not interfere with
operation of trap
• If the trigger rods do not move downward
freely, pull the looped trigger rod outward
away from the cage keeping it aligned
horizontally with the top of the cage.
With door locks in the open position, check that the
doors can be opened by gently pushing down on
trigger rods. Notice that trigger rod with offset loop
is above straight trigger rod, so pushing down loop
rod opens both doors (illustration 2)
Setting the Trap
1. Turn the door locks to the open position
(illustration 1).
2. Push down on the straight trigger rod to open
door.
3. While holding door open, place bait on the bait
pan. See back for bait suggestions. When finished,
close door.
4. Push down on the offset loop on the looped
trigger rod to open both doors (illustration 2).
5. Position the flat end of the looped trigger rod
under the flat end of the bait pan trigger, so that
both doors are held open and the bait pan is level.
(illustration 3).
6. Turn door lock knobs so that both door locks
rest on doors (illustration 4).
